United Poultry Concerns and VIVA, two national animal rights groups,
will hold a protest demonstration on Sunday, February 11 from 6 - 8
p.m. as part of a nationwide campaign to persuade Whole Foods, which
includes Fresh Fields, to drop duck meat. Whole Foods-Fresh Fields
has created a false image that they care about the treatment of
animals killed for food. In fact, they are selling factory farmed
birds who are tortured for food.

The duck industry is pure cruelty, says UPC spokesman Franklin Wade, who will head Sundays protest. Duck producers cut off part of the ducks bills. They confine the ducks in filthy sheds, and deprive them of water to swim in. Ducks mate for life. They need to be outdoors in the sun on a pond. Fresh Fields cannot be humane and sell slaughtered ducks. Well have signs and free information about how to get Fresh Fields to stop selling these birds.

Ducks Out of Water is a project of VIVA! (www.vivausa.org) a national
duck defense group supported by United Poultry Concerns which
promotes the compassionate & respectful treatment of domestic fowl. www.upc-online.org
